Hello All,This time next week I will be in Paris!
I have begun to pack already. It is very exciting!
I am looking forward to strolling down the Champs de Elysee drinking in scenery.
I would like to share my French adventure with you all and hence, French Friday will be born and begins next week!!! While I am in France I will be sharing about my trip. When I return I will be having giveaways and free downloads, as well as bits of stories of my trip and hopefully really great photos! (I am frantically reading my new camera's manual!).
Until then, I am sharing with you all a surprise gift I received from a dear friend Marlynn, who I met right here in blogland.
She made this lovely card for me!
And can yous see in the top most photo all the fabulous bits and pieces of vintage bits and buttons! I just love this little tin of goodies, and what a fab key!!!
She sent it all tucked in a gorgeous box. There is even a little bag of vintage heart shaped sequins from French General.
I was in shock as I pulled out more and more goodies!
She is so talented, and I am always sighing at her ATCs!
Below is her gorgeous Paris tag.
Stop by and visit her at Honeysuckle Breeze.
Thank you so much Marlynn, you have inspired me to create!
Paperwhimsy Enchanted Room Swap!
I was also very fortunate to get a swap item from another blog friend Christy, she too is totally amazing with what she creates. Remember my Alice in Wonderland cigar box room? I have sent it off to a secret recipient, and I received one from Christy in return. How fun is that!!!
This is her Thumbelina room.
I feel so lucky!!! Thank you Christy!!!

I just love her little whimsy girl and her tulle skirt! And the idea of putting it in a book shaped box is fab!!!
